Where to start with this one! The finish is shocking, the camera rarely stands still enough to show how bad the workmanship is but when it does OH MY GOD! Another is that they never show that all the people working on the house would fill ‘The Royal Albert Hall’ (Just like those holes in Blackburn Lancashire)
Oi watch it i live near Blackburn:rant:

Talking about labour charges I think it was Sarah Beeny's books and her magazine that was slated for giving unrealistic labour charges for given jobs.
The problem is in many cases that researchers are not trained in the trade and because the programmes are produced on a tight budget, it's all down to Sharon, who works in lighting or whoever to ask her BF, a handyman, how much he would charge to paint a room.
Garbage in = Garbage out.
I think the most innacurate article in a magazine prize goes to the BBC, when Part P of the Building Regs came in.
It stated that the NICEIC had passed introduced a law to ban all DIY electrical work in the home. In so many words.
Firstly the NICEIC is a charity, not a governing body and certainly not parliament.
Secondly the law was passed, but in Parliament, in the normal way
Thirdly Not all DIY electrical work was banned. There is still plenty that can be done that is not within the scope of Part P
Fourthly Other work that falls within the scope of Part P can still be done, provided the LABC is properly notified.
The article was a small editorial, about 1/6th of a single side, yet only the BBC could cram so many innacuracies into such a small space, well done the BBC!

That grand designs what people are on about was class, He said to the bloke something like:
"why pay the expense of having to fly over German workers?"
"because no one over here can do it too a good enough standard"
Next clip Kevin McCloud is there on the roof trying his best not to smile explaining that the outer of the roof will need to come off and be repaired at a huge expense.
Love watching Grand Designs but really annoys me that every other episode he says in his closing comments something along the lines of "i thought blah blah blah was crazy to try such a thing but you know what?, it works"
Watched that Cowboy builders last night, load of crap.
Bit disappointed DIY SOS didn't get a mention, enjoy watching that.

There really are too many to mention I only listed a couple that came into my head. DIY SOS is one of the ones that is a good watch, that's pretty much how most of my days go with a bit of laugh here and there but still getting it done. I tend to find that most of my customers actually enjoy watching us stitching each other up! Of course I have a lot of customers that prefer the ultra professional approach and we do that to, anything to keep the customer happy and relaxed
